Fresh Rosemary Limeade

The other night I was looking around for recipes involving rosemary. My rosemary plant flourished this summer and I wanted to do some stuff with it. I happened upon this rosemary lemonade recipe, which looked delightful, but I didn’t have any lemons. I did, however, have a rather large bag of limes sitting on my kitchen counter, waiting for me. So I decided, “Why not make a new twist on this thing and make rosemary limeade?” That’s exactly what I did.

But here’s the thing…the hubster and I are on Weight Watchers right now, trying to drop a few pounds and get super healthy. So because I didn’t want to use the sugar and have to count points for this tasty little treat, I swapped out the sugar for Splenda, making this a delightful, zero-point beverage.

Here’s how I made mine:

1. Get a bunch of limes and some Splenda (clearly, from Costco) and cut a few sprigs from the rosemary plant.

“Ingredients, Assemble!”

2. Add Splenda to water and heat, toss in the rosemary, wait a little bit, then turn off the heat and let the water cool. This is your “rosemary simple syrup”.

3. Using a juicer, squish your limes until you have enough lime juice.
